Good morning all here. I watched the blues and Bruins last night. Halak has been very good, but as a team over all they are good but not great. Their D is real young, but they played well last night. The Rangers will have their hands full.

Hockeymon- the Rangers would have their hands full playing against just anyone at the moment.
Having said that, we should be proud of the way they’ve been playing. This is a young, shorthanded team that has been much more than just competitive. And they should get better once all injured players come back. I don’t think the chemistry will be affected. Unless Torts starts heavily overusing Gaborik. Drury should slide in quietly to replace White, plus PK and some important face-offs.

He whom this scroll commemorates was numbered among those who, at the call of King and Country left all that was dear to them, endured hardness, faced danger, and finally passed out of the sight of men by the path of duty and self-sacrifice, giving up their own lives that others might live in freedom.
Let those who come after see to it that his name be not forgotten.

Not that I really care as much as wicky….but I didnt know that Roszival got the A. And now that I do know, it’s disgusting. The letters are supposed to carry a leadership role and given based on merit. Why give it to a piece of crap (I still love Roszi; he’s my piece of crap until he’s no longer a Ranger, sorta like Redden) instead of to a young kid like Cally to give the kid a leadership role. Cally literally gives 100% every damn night. He got thrown into the boards head first and could have been seriously injured, and what does the kid do, he finishes the game. That’s leadership….leadership that Messier would be proud of!

anybody know how to watch movies online free? i tried btjunkie and downloaded x codec or somethin, but i couldnt get the movie to play. any suggestions? id appreciate it immensely. my daughter wants a certain movie i cant find or get at the store. dont wanna buy it from amazon or any other site that

“Most of it is my doing,” he said, digging into a grilled chicken breast over a salad. “The way I played wasn’t what I needed it to be, I guess. I try not to pout about it. It’s not ideal to come down here, but it can lead to something better. The challenge is to play well and get back.”

Haha! I like the part where it says “digging into a grilled chicken breast”.

Probably mentioned already, but Biron is in net tonight. Too bad. I wanted to see Halak vs Halank.

Grabachev, I’m not sure if you’re talking about streaming the movies or playing the downloaded files. If it’s the latter case, get Vlan’s VLC; it plays anything you throw at it.http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

I too was not aware of Roz with the A. And I can appreciate your sentiment when taken at face value, but let’s just suppose now, that Torts in some Machiavellian mood ( and I admit that in making this ,move I am granting Torts a bit more subtlety than he probably has,) but let’s just suppose: that Torts is of the mind that by putting the A on Roz’s shoulder he has thrown down the gauntlet so to speak and force fed him the option of living up to the responsibility and super charging his own
play and behavior, that he achieves that from him which he might not normally be expected to produce. Hmmm? A bit far fetched I will admit, but…..”could be.”

I notice that the notion abounds that most people hate Cherry. Can that be true? Would they let him loose if that were so? Personally, I kind of enjoy listening to him, because amongst that sartorial splendor that he dons, is a pretty good hockey mind. I see nothing wrong with injecting a bit of color ( forgive me), now and then into the sport. he does make some outrageous observations, but it’s all in fun. He’s a lot more palatable than that eight ball duo called Mike and the Mad Dog. And like all good comedians he has a straight man to pull him back to earth when he strays over the line. (Wonder what he wears when he goes to the beach.)

By the way, someone was talking about the pulling the goaltender at the end of games. Here is my thought on that.

Ive always thought that if the other team is going to pull the goalie, then the team with defending against the extra man should be able to ice the puck without icing. That seems like a fair thing that Im a strong advocate of.

In answer to your question: For free movies online, go to Google, type the name of the movie and either part 1 or the year the film was released. Most films there are older because of copyright restrictions on those made after 1960, still, the selection is quite good.

ok i just read the posts above. thanks guys about the free movie streaming i was asking about, but i got btjunkie and torrents to work. im effin retarded when it comes to computers but i finally got the movie inception and the resident evil 4 movies downloaded. residnt evil sucked btw. it was pure special effects, almost a a matrix ripoff with teh cg stuff. hardly any zombies which is why i wanted to see it. k, im calling tonights game a win, just for teh fact that everytime i drink, they win. and im shitfaced right now!!

Im doing quite well. Trying to focus more on school. Right now I have a 20 page paper due soon and thats why Im here. Procrastinating the inevitable. Still been able to catch all the games thus far though.

Some of my favorite (most disgusting) quotes from Philthy fans about the hit…

“They only called a penalty because he’s hurt. That’s a clean hit. Receivers can’t duck into defenders to draw penalties. The NFL is a joke. Put a dress on the receivers.”

And many more that can not be reposted here because of the vulgar language. About 5 people that are actually sympathetic. Its disgusting.

And about 5 minutes later, they are asking for Manning on the same cart with the same fate…

wth- i was on hockeystreams site watching and all the philthy fans were laughing about all the non calls and the head hit on feds. nice fans huh. seems like they care more about them winning 1 game than the well being of another human being. i tried to plead my case as best i could, but they just love seeing rangers get screwed. anyway, glad ur doin well. but skip tonights game to get your paper doen. i know it will be hard to concentrate knowing the games on though. sucks huh!

Anyone wanna hear a funny story? Okay great! I already wrote about this on fb, but I think I told Steve Montador the Passover story today! He didn’t know what matzoh balls were, so I started from the beginning… Anyways, I’m not totally sure it was Steve Montador, but he looked like a caveman and had a totally busted nose. He high-fived me!

Senior Research project on the hand hygiene practice. I had a theory that water serves as a conduit (passageway) for most bacteria. Basically results came out as.

Least bacteria were when someone washed their hands with soap and then dried.
Next was just water and dried
Then came the unwashed hands
After was the soaped hands but undried
Then was the just watered hands and then dried.

So basically, if you don’t dry your or dont have a way to dry them, then their is no point in washing your hands at all.

Dd, I have a few different kinds. I think the best is “My Passport”. Also Seagate, and Toshiba are good ones. But, My Passport is the one I usually look for. I have four of those, two Seagate, and one Toshiba. Never had any problems with them.

I don’t think in the case of rozy the players had as much say as the coach. I think he gave him the cally letter for his tenure or perhaps to motivate. You can’t honestly say that if you were a ranger player and the way rozy plays versus prust or even boyle that you would pick rozy for the A? Would you??
